SourceDisksFiles Section

The SourceDisksFiles section names the source files used during installation and identifies the source disks that contain the files. In order to allow multi-platform distribution of source files, you can construct a platform-specific SourceDisksFiles section. For example, all Setup functions that use a SourceDisksFiles section will first look for a SourceDisksFiles.mips section on a MIPS platform and only look in a SourceDisksFiles section if the line was not found in SourceDisksFiles.mips. This behavior affects any Setup function that directly or indirectly references a SourceDisksFiles section as part of its processing.

filename

Name of the file on the source disk.

disk-number

Ordinal of the source disk that contains the file. This ordinal must be defined in a SourceDisksNames section, and must have a value greater than or equal to 1.

subdir

Optional parameter that specifies the subdirectory on the source disk where the file resides. If this parameter is not used, the source disk root directory is the default.

size

Optional parameter that specifies the uncompressed size of the file.

The following example SourceDisksFiles section identifies a single source file, SRS01.x86, on the disk with the ordinal of 1.

SRS01.x86 = 1
